2019 Ontario Autism Program controversy
Changes to the Ontario Autism Programme in 2019 by the government of Ontario, led by Premier Doug Ford, caused significant controversy, resulting in a number of protests. After announcing the changes in February, aimed at clearing the long waiting list for the programme, but resulting in the potential loss of access to the service for many families, the government eventually partly reversed its reforms.


2019 Ontario Autism Program controversy, Background
In 2014, while a city councillor in Toronto, Ford came under criticism after opposing a group home for the developmentally disabled, including those with autism, in a west Etobicoke neighbourhood. He was first alleged to have told members of the home that they had "ruined the community", and then attempted to defend himself by stating that the presence of the home had dropped property prices in the neighbourhood and had been a "nightmare" for its neighbours.


2019 Ontario Autism Program controversy, Background
After the father of an autistic son filed an integrity complaint against Ford over the scandal, Ford told the Toronto Sun newspaper that the father had launched a jihad against him and that "he can go to hell, I don’t even care." The controversy was raised again during Ford's run in the 2014 Toronto mayoral election, to which Ford responded by stating that the media had distorted the issue.


2019 Ontario Autism Program controversy, Background
In 2016, the government of Ontario, then led by the Ontario Liberal Party and Premier Kathleen Wynne, announced that it would be eliminating government-funded access to intensive behaviour therapy for children aged five and above. After a significant outcry, the government reversed its decision and announced an additional $200 million in funding over the next four years.


2019 Ontario Autism Program controversy, Background
In the 2018 Ontario general election, the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, led by Doug Ford, won a majority in the election, capturing 76 of the 124 seats in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario and returning to government for the first time since 2003. As part of their platform, the PCs to add 100 million $ in funding per year to the Ontario Autism Programme. At the time of the election, there were 23 000 children on the waiting list for access to autism-related services in Ontario.

In November 2018, along with other cuts such as the 2018 Franco-Ontarian Black Thursday, the Ford government announced that it would be eliminating the Office of the Provincial Advocate for Children and Youth.


2019 Ontario Autism Program controversy, Ontario Autism Programme reforms
On 4 February  2019, Progressive Conservative MPP Amy Fee published an article in the Toronto Star decrying the state of autism services in the province, stating that


2019 Ontario Autism Program controversy, Ontario Autism Programme reforms
"Parents have had to leave their jobs to support their child. Many were overcome with emotion just talking about their daily struggles to find help and their extreme stress and anxiety. Most of the families I spoke with just don’t understand why a small number of children get service, while the majority are on wait-lists. And, there are in fact multiple wait-lists. There’s a wait-list to receive a diagnosis, a wait-list to access provincial funding and another for private providers. All this waiting is adding to their stress and keeping children from accessing much needed therapy."


2019 Ontario Autism Program controversy, Ontario Autism Programme reforms
Two days later, Lisa MacLeod, the Minister of Children, Community and Social Services, held a press conference at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital to announce a number of reforms to the Ontario Autism Programme, stating that "we've heard how the autism program isn't working for the families who need support for their children." Among the reforms, the government would be doubling investment in autism diagnostic hubs up to $5,5 million a year, providing direct funding to families instead of to regional service providers, and set the target of clearing the waiting list for the programme within 18 months.


2019 Ontario Autism Program controversy, Ontario Autism Programme reforms
However, the direct funding to families would be front-loaded based on age, was limited to $5000 a year after the age of six, and was limited to a maximum total of $140 000 across the child's lifetime. The reforms would also establish a government agency charged with assessing funding eligibility for families and providing them advice on which services to purchase.


2019 Ontario Autism Program controversy, Ontario Autism Programme reforms, Reactions
The government's reforms were met with severe criticism, especially from families with autistic children in the province. Among the criticisms were that the changes would base funding on age instead of need and that the amount of funding would be inadequate, with the $5000 cap on funding per year risking services for children in need of intensive programmes, which can cost more than that per month.


2019 Ontario Autism Program controversy, Ontario Autism Programme reforms, Reactions
As well, critics of the reforms argued that the reforms would reduce the number of therapy hours available to children. The reforms additionally would be means-tested, basing funding off of a family's income instead of off of a family's needs. Janet McLaughlin, professor at Wilfrid Laurier University, stated that the changes were like "assigning a standard amount of physiotherapy to every person with back injuries, whether they actually require back surgery or whether they could just benefit from stretching exercises. It makes no sense and it undermines the needs of children who most deeply require intensive services."


2019 Ontario Autism Program controversy, Ontario Autism Programme reforms, Reactions
The reforms were also criticised for failing to take into account the needs of autistic adults. Schitt's Creek actor and autism advocate Eugene Levy spoke out against the reforms, stating that "the autism fund is only applicable to kids who are under the age of 18. As if when they turn 18, they just outgrow their autism."


2019 Ontario Autism Program controversy, Ontario Autism Programme reforms, Reactions
Other commentators expressed concern about the impact the reforms could have on schools in Ontario, noting that children could be pushed out of therapy and into schools that didn't have the resources needed or accommodation measures in place. As well, critics pointed out that the educational assistants in schools could not serve as substitutes for therapists and were often already forced to pay out of their own pockets to receive training for their job. Harvey Bischof, president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation, stated that "A significant increase in the number of specialized support staff in our schools is essential if we want to provide all the support that students with special needs require and deserve."


2019 Ontario Autism Program controversy, Ontario Autism Programme reforms, Reactions
The changes did have a few supporters. After the reforms were announced, the Toronto Sun published an editorial defended the government, stating that "MacLeod’s solution isn’t perfect; not everyone’s happy. But at least it provides a little something for everyone as opposed to the previous system which provided everything for a minority of parents and nothing for everyone else."


2019 Ontario Autism Program controversy, Protests
The day the reforms were announced, Bruce McIntosh, a Progressive Conservative legislative assistant and former president of the Ontario Autism Coalition, announced his resignation as a parliamentary staffer in protest, stating that "the decisions that the government has made are absolutely wrongheaded."

On 7 March 2019, another large protest was held at Queen's Park, attracting hundreds more protestors. MacLeod refused to face the protests and refused to answer questions from journalists that day, stating she feared for her safety. Around a dozen protesting parents had been kicked out of the Legislative Assembly galleries during the day after shouting at MPPs during Question Period. Two days later, a woman was arrested by the Ottawa police force on charges of harassing MacLeod.

In late May, a parent of two children with autism sent Ford a text message accusing the government of corruption over the cuts. In response, Ford called the parent and warned him that "you got to be very, very careful when you tell someone that they’re corrupt. Very, very, very careful. Okay, my friend? I’ll talk to you later." After the parent publicly posted the details of the call and the perceived threat, the hashtag #FordCorruptAF trended on social media.

An internal review of the government's cuts prepared by MPP Roman Baber and obtained by The Globe And Mail newspaper in June 2019 found that the government had deliberately spread "unverified and is likely inaccurate" information about the state of autism care in Ontario and that the government's initial actions "resulted in absurdity" that would've left most families destitute. Later that month, Ford held a press conference defending his government, stating that "What boggles my mind: we’re pouring, pouring money into autism, and focused on it, listening to the experts, not the bunch of politicians, but listening to the experts. We’re helping them and they’re protesting? I don’t know. I question that."

Later that month, almost 300 employees at the Erinoakkids Centre for Treatment and Development were fired, with the Centre stating the firings were due to the government's changes to autism funding.

In September 2019, Child and Community Resources, a major autism-service provider in Northern Ontario, announced that it would no longer be able to offer therapy to new families and that it had cut 90 positions over the previous year. The centre blamed the government's reforms for the cuts, with executive director Sherry Fournier stating that "my worry has been from the start that the north will feel this first. And we are running out of time. If we wait much longer, we’re not going to have any staff at all."


2019 Ontario Autism Program controversy, Protests
In early October 2019, a group of families announced that they would be suing the government over the changes, alleging breach of contract, negligence, and breach of sections 7 and 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Some of the families had previously sued the then-Liberal government over a decade earlier, the judge ruling that an age six funding cap was discriminatory.


2019 Ontario Autism Program controversy, Protests
In late October 2019, the autism advisory panel released its report, calling for a number of changes to the Ontario Autism Program, including the expansion of core services, the provision of funding based on an individual child's needs, the end of the use of  seclusion rooms in schools, and each family being assigned a care co-ordinator with the goal of helping them navigate the government programme. The report also recommended that the government cover the cost of travel for access to services for people living in Northern Ontario and the need to build more services in the north.


2019 Ontario Autism Program controversy, Further developments
A report from the Financial Accountability Officer in July 2020 found that the waiting list had grown to a total of 27 600 children, up by more than four thousand from the time of the election, and estimated that ensuring all children had access to autism services would cost around $1,35 billion, more than double the government's current budget for autism services.

The original qualification process called for 10 teams to qualify from three cash spiels (two each), an open qualifier (two teams), plus the top two southern Ontario teams in the CTRS standings (as of December 9, 2018). However, CurlON announced on December 5, 2018 that a third CTRS team (Team Scott McDonald) would be allowed to directly qualify for the Tankard, as the team was in the top 10 in the CTRS standings at the time, and had a scheduling conflict preventing them from participating in the first round of cash spiel qualifiers (they were playing in the 2018 National). McDonald's direct entry took a qualifying spot away from Cash Spiel #2. This change in qualification was not without controversy.

McIlroy was the pre-tournament favourite but shot an 8-over-par 79 in the first round, which included a quadruple bogey eight on the first hole, a double bogey five on the 16th, and a triple bogey seven on the 18th. Despite shooting a 6-under-par 65 in the second round for a two-over-par total, he missed the cut by a single stroke. Clarke also missed the cut, and McDowell finished tied-57th.

2019 Open Championship, Round summaries, Third round
Shane Lowry shot an 8-under-par 63 to break the course record since it was remodeled in 2016. His 197 set a new 54-hole scoring record at the Open, beating the 198 set by Tom Lehman in 1996 at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. He became the 12th player since 2000 to be leading in a major by four or more strokes, with only three of them failing to go on and win, including Lowry himself at the 2016 U.S. Open. Lee Westwood sat tied-6th in his 82nd major start, which is the second highest number of major starts without a victory, with only Jay Haas (87) having more. The light afternoon winds favoured the later starters, and led to lower scores than in the first two days.


2019 Open Championship, Round summaries, Final round, Summary
Sunday’s tee times were moved forward due to the adverse weather forecast. The first tee time for the final round at Royal Portrush was at 7:32am BST, with the two leaders beginning their final round at 1:47pm. Shane Lowry shot a 1-over-par 72, with only Tony Finau scoring lower (71) out of the players in the top 10 after round 3. It meant Lowry won with a six shot margin ahead Tommy Fleetwood, the highest winning margin in a major since Martin Kaymer in the 2014 U.S. Open. Lowry had a clear lead throughout the round, and was generally praised for his composure in testing weather conditions, with some remarking about the similarity to his 2009 Irish Open win when he still had amateur status.
